"With John Huston directing a cast of Hollywood icons, including Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe, in a haunting screenplay by Arthur Miller, THE MISFITS was one of the most anticipated films of 1961. But difficult shooting locations, an unruly director, a crumbling marriage, an aging leading man, and an unstable leading lady made the behind-the-scenes story of the film's production anything but ideal."

To say that I am obsessed with this movie is putting it mildly. Ever since I saw the Magnum Photos, learned the history of the film alongside the tragic players, well, it's beauty and sadness has just grabbed my heart and hasn't let go.
